This report from the Ubuntu Summit <https://www.theregister.com/2022/11/10/openprinting_keeps_old_printers_working/> I think nicely highlights the inevitable consequences of Microsoft allowing Linux into Windows with WSL2. Linux has long had better support for older printers and other hardware than Windows. Even after the vendors of the products drop support for their Windows drivers, others have found ways to create and maintain open-source drivers for those products. Now, the circle is turning back, with these same open-source drivers being offered back to Windows users, by running them on the Linux subsystem under WSL2. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that this offering is coming from Ubuntu/Canonical, given their increasingly cosy relationship with Microsoft. Sure, if you want to talk “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish”, just note that the platform being “embraced” and “extended” is not Linux being extended with formerly Windows-only capabilities, but Windows being extended with formerly Linux-only capabilities. As Microsoft and other vendors increasingly realize that, instead of developing proprietary Windows-only drivers, it is much less work to encourage the creation of open-source ones for Linux, that Windows can also use in this way via WSL2, where do you think this is going to lead?
